The second post (in which we indicate our intention for this online journal.)

I'd like share the way we use MyHippocampus and to share a bit of the vision for the site. MyHippocampus focus is a bit broader then some of the other sites out there and it can take more than a first glance to see what we're trying to accomplish here.

MyHippocampus is an organic tool. We don't have lists, milestones, and other artifacts of a standard business architecture. This is because we don't want you to have to conform. It's your hippocampus. You get to do what you want here. While this is really exciting, it can also be a little confusing at first. Let's face it, we all do quite a bit of conforming (or at least I do) and it can be tough to know what to do without out. With MyHippocampus, you're met with a big 'ocean of the mind' & it's your job to fill it up with the things that are important to you. Sadly, these aren't questions that we get to ask ourselves very often and a lot of us are a little out of practice with intellectual self-actualization ;) Happily there's no real rush, and failing is encouraged (and arbitrarily defined) but that still leaves a lot of us wondering? So... what do I put in my ocean?

This blog is going to be a place where we can share different things people are putting in their mental oceans. Of course everything you put in there is for your eyes only, so it will only be things that users tell us about or that we're doing ourselves. If the hippo is changing your life make sure to let us and everybody else know!
